Maybe there is some merit in trying to engage us laymen in superficially intriguing anthropology, which may lead us to search further, past the "Cheesecake Factory". I have no doubt you know far more about anthropology, but perhaps some aspects, information or "gringo's" peaked your interest in the field when you were younger that you can no longer agree with or support? Could you regard it as redundant if it had lead you to study what you love? Hope that sounded okay, my english is not great!
